Ejing Zhang

Growing up in China, designer Ejing Zhang was fascinated by traditional calligraphy and ink painting — art forms that are both fine and expressive, requiring a fluid interaction with brush and ink. Zhang still have the same sensitivity to materials that she observed growing up in her work and have now developed a new technique for creating work that involved taking spalted beech wood, wrapping it with colored thread, and casting it in resin, before sanding and polishing it to reveal its beautiful cross-sections. Now the brand is based in London and continue to develop the technique and creating atmospheric compositions using this innovative craft process.
